20 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Albany

“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!“

“Such good fries- such great service- a gem in downtown“

“Had a delightful experience, from the amazing cigar rolls (better than any cheese sticks I have ever had) to the pistachio espresso and then the Turkish Manti was so flavourful! The icing on the cake was the blueberry creme brulee! Amazing and would highly recommend.“

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!“

“Very good and fresh! I really dislike the mall, I also usually really dislike mall food court eats. However, really good Guatemalan taco place with empanadas, falafel and gyros!!!! Super nice people running the place, and best mall food court lunch you can imagine.

This place might actually bring me back to do shopping just to grab food, honestly. I noticed a GrubHub sign, to add.“

“Absolutely wonderful food, easy to park location (paid lot two doors down), and kind service. We tried a number of entrees and sides: gyro, chicken, sabzi (spinach and beans), and badenajn (eggplant). Everything was excellent! No dinner is complete without dessert, so we sampled the cheesecake and pudding. This is a wonderful place for dining out and we plan to return in the future.“

During the nicer weather there are seats outside but I get all, order to go!“
